Ti Amo More Than Koala Loves Eucalyptus

Kemarin, Mas sedang off dan saya seperti biasa melakukan kegiatan di hari ke sekian pada bulan December. Mas memang rutin datang berkunjung. Kalau sudah begini, tiba-tiba saja dalam hati saya spontan menyanyikan lagu "Kemarin paman datang, pamanku dari desa. Dibawakannya rambutan pisang, dan sayur-mayur, segala rupa..."

Saya adalah salah satu anak yang mengikuti tren menyanyikan lagu tersebut, baik di rumah maupun di sekolah. Sekarang nampaknya saya sedikit iseng, bernyanyi dengan mengubah kata paman menjadi Om Chef. Keduanya sama-sama bersuku kata dua.

Mas baru tiba sekitar pukul setengah enam. Seperti biasa, kecerobohan membuat saya lupa satu hal penting hingga membuat Mas menunggu selama hampir setengah jam, ditambah KOHI sedang tutup.

Setelah sampai, saya berlari menaiki anak tangga sambil berharap cemas Mas langsung putar balik dan pulang. Ternyata tidak. Justru dalam situasi yang cukup membuat saya tegang, sayalah yang merasa seolah sedang disambut Mas dengan senyuman sederhana, pelukan, dan kecupan kecil yang mendarat di kening.

Momen seperti ini meskipun tidak saya alami setiap hari, saya tetap mensyukurinya dengan getir dan lapang dada. Sayangnya saya harus kembali lagi bekerja hingga pukul tujuh malam. Jujur ini kali pertama setelah sampai di tujuan, harus segera pergi lagi.

Singkat cerita mencapai pukul tujuh saya pulang dan mendapati Mas sedang tertidur pulas. Akhirnya karena kepikiran Mas barangkali belum isi perut seharian, kami sepakat memutuskan untuk melipir sejenak ke kedai nasi campur. Ternyata enak! Lidah kami dimanjakan oleh perpaduan antara manis, asin, gurih, daging yang super empuk, lapisan kulit yang kenyal serta garing. Dalam hati saya cuma bilang, "Nikmat mana lagi yang didustakan kali ini?"

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea? 

Act of Service

Several times I asked my fiance why he rarely gave me flowers, chocolate, cake, and other things related to sweet things linked to Valentine's Day. And I think I got the answer now. I love to observe people, even somehow my awareness gone with no trace lol. I think it was rooted from his culture as well. He's patient enough to do house chores even if he had a lot to prepare for his works. Several times I went to his house, and I was amazed by how clean and neat it was. He has no housekeeper to assist him doing those stuff, he did it by himself. Tried to wipe my finger on his cabinet or tv, and I found nothing. You know, when we cooked together, he didn't ask and force me to help. He needed me to just watch him dancing while cooking, listen to him singing song he composed by himself, and to show off how he seasoned the food so it would taste incredibly delicious. He also taught me how to take care of white blouse and T-shirt effortlessly. Unfortunately, since I had a lot on ...
